Big tech employees overwhelmingly support Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D.), contributing tens of thousands of dollars to her campaign while giving no money to Republican challenger Eric Hovde, according to a review of Federal Election Commission data. Employees and high level executives at the Big Five — Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft — are stepping in to help Baldwin amid her contentious campaign for a third term in the Senate. The notoriously left-learning tech industry has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks as Google and Meta face accusations of censoring information about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.  Baldwin has received nearly $70,000 dollars from employees of the Big Five, with over half coming from employees at Google, according to a Daily Wire review of Federal Election Commission data. Hovde, a Wisconsin businessman, appears to have received no donations to his Hovde for Wisconsin or Hovde Victory Committee from workers at those tech companies. Employees and executives of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, have given at least $35,520 in donations to Baldwin so far this election cycle. Kent Walker, president of global affairs at Google and Alphabet, has donated $6,600 to Baldwin this election cycle while Google CMO Lorraine Twohill gave Baldwin $3,300. Fernando Pereira, a vice president and engineering fellow at Google, gave $1,500 to Baldwin while Vinton Cerf, another Google executive, gave the Democratic senator $3,300.  Donations from employees at the other four tech giants were similarly lopsided, though smaller in number. Amazon employees gave Baldwin $13,172, while Microsoft employees gave her $12,175. Workers at Apple donated just $4,575, while Meta employees gave $2,721.  While Baldwin won her last election in 2018 by over 10 points, her race this November is expected to be closer, with Wisconsin projected to be one of the battleground states that determines the result of the presidential election. Hovde, who locked up the Republican nomination on Tuesday, is backed by Trump.  Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Zach Bannon, a spokesman for Hovde, said that the tech donations showed that Baldwin is a “bought and paid for corporate special interest career politician.” “She sides with the big-tech donors that fund her campaign over the concerns of everyday Wisconsinites, which is why the people of Wisconsin are tired of corrupt career politicians and are ready for change,” he told The Daily Wire.  As a senator, Baldwin has called for crackdowns on alleged “misinformation” on topics from monkeypox to COVID vaccines, frequently calling on companies like Facebook and Google to further restrict certain information.  For example, in January 2021 Baldwin joined efforts to urge social media platforms like Google and Facebook to restrict posts critical of COVID vaccines.  “While we understand that your companies have implemented policies regarding the removal of vaccine-related misinformation and dedicated resources to stop the spread of misinformation, we believe more must be done. It is imperative that you be transparent about the amount of harmful misinformation that appears on your platforms and the effectiveness of your efforts to remove this content, so that public health organizations and experts can respond appropriately,” Baldwin wrote.  Baldwin did not return a request for an interview about her stance on “misinformation” and Big Tech.  WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI The left bias of Google employees is no surprise, as donations were similarly lopsided in key Senate races during the 2022 election. The search engine has consistently asserted that it is politically neutral and not biased against conservatives.  However, in the weeks following the assassination attempt on Trump, users noticed that Google would not autocomplete searches related to the attack. In response, Republican lawmakers have launched an investigation into the platform, calling for comprehensive documentation of the company’s policies and programs.  None of the Big Five returned requests for comment. 

“X-Men ’97” creator and head writer Beau DeMayo claims he was fired from the Marvel series earlier this year for posting about gay pride, but the company recently issued a statement refuting that charge following some posts DeMayo made on social media. “Mr. DeMayo was terminated in March 2024 following an internal investigation,” the studio said in a statement, per Variety. “Given the egregious nature of the findings, we severed ties with him immediately and he has no further affiliation with Marvel.” A source told the outlet that DeMayo was accused of sexual misconduct and also violated his termination agreement. Those charges were not officially confirmed. DeMayo shared his thoughts in a social post on Thursday night. Firstly, I’m so grateful to have worked on #XMen97, collaborating with some amazingly talented folks. Creating this revival was a dream come true and the support fans have shown is so touching. However, I felt it pressing for me to speak up in the wake of leaving the show… pic.twitter.com/kbOTL3IQJj — Beau DeMayo (@BeauDemayo) August 16, 2024 “Firstly, I’m so grateful to have worked on #XMen97, collaborating with some amazingly talented folks,” he wrote in an X post alongside an illustration of a character with a strong physical resemblance to himself. “Creating this revival was a dream come true and the support fans have shown is so touching. However, I felt it pressing for me to speak up in the wake of leaving the show.” “Above is #XMen fan-art I posted on Instagram for Gay Pride in June,” DeMayo added. “On June 13, #Marvel sent a letter notifying me that they’d stripped my Season 2 credits due to the post. Sadly, this is the latest in a troubling pattern I suffered through while on working on #XMen97 and #Blade.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The former Marvel employee also reacted to the company statement, writing in a reaction posted later the same evening. “The truth will be revealed. After their Disney Plus disaster, Marvel wants to mislead with alleged contract breaches over tweets. It’s tragic it’s come to this but unsurprising. Stay tuned,” he wrote. Like so many other businesses, Marvel leaned into Pride month this year just like in years prior. The entertainment company released a series of Pride-focused comic book covers throughout the month of June featuring LGBTQ characters. The company also posted on social media throughout June to celebrate Pride month. DeMayo frequently tweeted about “X-Men ’97” on his personal social media account, revealing details and storylines there. He also advertised a non-explicit OnlyFans account and posted topless photos of himself. The LGBTQ publication Out named DeMayo, “the Sexy, Gay Marvel Showrunner and Writer to Know” in 2022.

Vice President Kamala Harris admitted on Friday that grocery prices were lower under former President Donald Trump than under the Biden-Harris administration. Speaking to supporters in Raleigh, North Carolina, Harris addressed the rising costs of groceries and unrolled a proposal to control food prices similar to tactics used by the Soviet Union that led to massive food shortages. While making the case for the federal government to get involved in regulating food prices, Harris acknowledged that the cost of a loaf of bread is up 50% compared to “before the pandemic” — when Trump was in office. “As president, I will take on the high costs that matter most to most Americans like the cost of food,” Harris said. “We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed, but our supply chains have now improved, and prices are still too high. A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost 50%.” Kamala Harris says she will get prices back to what they were under Trump: pic.twitter.com/xjv1JSv8l8 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) August 16, 2024 Along with bread and ground beef, dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter have also jumped more than 30% in price since 2020, according to Yahoo Finance. Eggs are up 54% and cereal has gone up 28% on average across the country. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Harris promised during her event on Friday that she “will go after the bad actors and … work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food.” “My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead,” she added.

And if they worked, I’d go along with it, too, but they don’t work. They actually have the exact opposite impact and effect and it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Even the leftist Washington Post ran an op-ed by Catherine Rampell that blasted Harris for proposing the plan, writing, “It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk.” “At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat,” Rampell added. “(There’s a reason narrower ‘price gouging’ laws that exist in some U.S. states are rarely invoked.) At worst, it might accidentally raise prices.”

Donald Trump Jr. called out a reporter on Friday for posting a misleading clip of Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) speaking a few years ago about immigration. Reporter Jacqueline Sweet posted a clip on X from an interview that Vance, who is Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate, gave in 2021 where he was asked about what negatives can come from large waves of immigration. In the clip posted by Sweet, Vance talked about large waves of immigration from Europe to the U.S. over a hundred years ago, specifically Italian, German, and Irish immigrants. “And that had had its problems, right?” Vance said. “It had its consequences. You had higher crime rates. You had these sort of ethnic enclaves developing. You had interethnic conflict in the country where you really hadn’t had that.” However, the clip cut off Vance before he said that the U.S. adjusted to the problem by slowing immigration down for a while so that those communities could assimilate into the American fabric. Sweet locked her account and, according to various users on X, was blocking people who were calling her out. “Hey hack – Why are you blocking people for calling you out over dishonestly editing this clip?” Trump Jr. posted on X. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Yet another leftwing keyboard warrior taking @JDVance‘s words out of context. In the rest of the clip (that she intentionally cut off), JD went on to say that were also upsides to the waves of immigration and that we slowed down immigration from these countries to give people… https://t.co/6yiBXFaDJk pic.twitter.com/oZSS1lAUO7 — Greg Price (@greg_price11) August 16, 2024 Trump Jr. highlighted a tweet that contained Vance’s full remarks on the subject. “I think it’s one of these things that’s evolved over time, right?” Vance said. “So obviously you had this massive wave of Italian and primarily Italian, Irish, and German immigration, right? And that had its problems, right? It had its consequences. You had higher crime rates. You had these sort of ethnic enclaves developing. You had interethnic conflict in the country where you really hadn’t had that before.” “And so there were downsides to it. Obviously, there were upsides, too,” Vance continued. “And one of the cool things that we did in the 1920s is we just sort of slowed down immigration a little bit, we let those, those sort of populations who had come to the country as new citizens, really incorporate themselves into the broader American fabric.”
